To dance. Short for 'footwork', twerking was originally a specific form of dancing popular in Chicago. Twerking was based on the uprock steps in breakdancing, but much faster and without any other accompanying breakdance moves.

A dance that requires you to shake your booty up and down. A common dance by girls.

Twerking has existed since the 90's. It was made by the Jamaicans during voodoo ceremonies. Last year, Twerking was popularized again by Miley Cyrus. Everyone claims that Miley invented Twerking when in reality, she really didn't. Ever since Miley has been Twerking, white girls from all ages with no ass have been trying to "twerk" like her and fail every time.
